Building a Boat
Oh I'm Building a boat to get me out of town
So I'm cutting big tall trees down to the ground
I'm gonna cut em up into bends
With a couple of my friends
We're gonna have her going so fast by the spring, yeah
Oh I'll hand make all the sails blocks and winches
Fasten down the hatches with big brass hinges
And on the deck there will be teak
and it'll never ever leak
We're gonna have her going so fast by the spring
I'm gonna smash a big bottle of champagne across her bow
And I'm gonna leave you for her, babe,
It's just a matter of time
Mediterranean water flows across her keel
So fast oh baby you can really feel it
At the helm on the wheel
She's true to the wind
She's so? good and the sea is so faithful to me
I'm gonna smash a big bottle of champagne across her bow
And I'm gonna leave you for her, babe,
It's just a matter of time
When the wild winds wail I'll be setting my sail
Precision and perfection second to none
I ain't never gonna turn around
No I ain't gonna look back
It's my new home in the sun
It's my ship shape, great escape
I'll bring all my Roy Orbison tapes
I'm gonna leave you for her babe it's just a matter of time
I'm gonna leave you for her babe it's just a matter of time
I'm gonna leave you for her babe it's just a matter of time
So I'm cutting big tall trees down to the ground
I'm gonna cut em up into bends
With a couple of my friends
We're gonna have her going so fast by the spring, yeah
Oh I'll hand make all the sails blocks and winches
Fasten down the hatches with big brass hinges
And on the deck there will be teak
and it'll never ever leak
We're gonna have her going so fast by the spring
I'm gonna smash a big bottle of champagne across her bow
And I'm gonna leave you for her, babe,
It's just a matter of time
Mediterranean water flows across her keel
So fast oh baby you can really feel it
At the helm on the wheel
She's true to the wind
She's so? good and the sea is so faithful to me
I'm gonna smash a big bottle of champagne across her bow
And I'm gonna leave you for her, babe,
It's just a matter of time
When the wild winds wail I'll be setting my sail
Precision and perfection second to none
I ain't never gonna turn around
No I ain't gonna look back
It's my new home in the sun
It's my ship shape, great escape
I'll bring all my Roy Orbison tapes
I'm gonna leave you for her babe it's just a matter of time
I'm gonna leave you for her babe it's just a matter of time
I'm gonna leave you for her babe it's just a matter of time
